I've got an 08 plate FR TDi, and have to say it's been awesome so far! We've only had it since March time but it's not missed a beat yet, it's only done 21k miles so i wouldn't expect any issues but there are at least no annoying rattles or anything...
It certainly goes well for a standard factory Diesel, and still does 40mpg average....
Just check for any lights on the dash, make sure it's got full service history including things like Brake fluid after 2.5 years as that often gets missed out and is only cheap to get done.
Other then the obvious (checking brakes and tyre wear) i can't really think there's anything specific to check on this car, other then the already mentioned DPF issue - All you can really do is look out for any lights on the dash, and maybe if you have the Reg plate, give a Seat dealer a call and ask if they can check what work the car had done under warranty as they should be able to tell you this.
